Because most people are slow oxidizers, so their liver is full of retinol and yellow fat, their tissues accumulate carotenoids, and they also accumulate copper, iron and other heavy metals. If you don't believe Dr. Smith, he is literally just saying exactly what @gbolduev said yrs ago on this forum. It's coming full circle.Why does every thread on this forum, no matter the subject, return back to how toxic Vitamin A is?
Interesting thanks. Nothing to do with believing anything, I’m just curious why it’s completely flooding the forum on every conceivable topic. Would you mind sharing me a link to any of Ray’s responses/reactions/thoughts/rebuttals/opinions on this hypothesis? Thanks!Because most people are slow oxidizers, so their liver is full of retinol and yellow fat, their tissues accumulate carotenoids, and they also accumulate copper, iron and other heavy metals.

Unfortunately Ray did not think anything of the vitamin A toxicity theory I think mostly because he believed it was safe as long as you had enough thyroid. I believe he had it backwards, it's not that we need MORE vitamin A the more thyroid hormone we use, it's that we need more thyroid hormone the more vitamin A we take in. That shifts the perspective to maybe we would need to take less thyroid or feel less hypothyroid the less vitamin A we take in.Interesting thanks.

Also think since I cut out caffeine, I'm getting less BMs in as well as some good ol withdrawal headachesHey guys quick update on symptoms:
- I think my appetite is starting to come back, as I'm getting cravings for certain foods
- Have not had any silent reflux the past 2 days
- I've noticed that my stools have been larger in diameter, tho less frequent (1x day maybe)
- Overall stomach discomfort has gone down
Does anyone have any reccs on how to get the bowels going quicker, so I can get to 2-3 BM / day
ACV has worked great for flushing me out in the past.
I think with the RP diet, all the dairy items were cleaning me out, and I've stopped those completely.
Magnesium and potassium. You can find info about that in my first post here: Charlies Low Toxin ThreadDoes anyone have any reccs on how to get the bowels going quicker, so I can get to 2-3 BM / day

Speaking of, I'd love to see gbold unbanned if he isnt already.Because most people are slow oxidizers, so their liver is full of retinol and yellow fat, their tissues accumulate carotenoids, and they also accumulate copper, iron and other heavy metals.

Yeah he seems missing. Which isn't good because he was helping a lot of people over on a different forum and if he suddenly died or got ill they need to know about it!Speaking of, I'd love to see gbold unbanned if he isnt already.
I doubt he'd rejoin though as I havent heard anything of him for the past 3 years.
I think he just quit when the other forum went offline. It took 3 years until someone restored hackstasis.Yeah he seems missing. Which isn't good because he was helping a lot of people over on a different forum and if he suddenly died or got ill they need to know about it!

People doing well on Ray Peat won't even consider the low vit A diet. Why would they? It's a detox diet from the yrs people over did sugar, retinol, calcium and copper. For those doing well on OJ and dairy they'd have no reason to give it up. But there will come a point the body starts slowing down and they need more and more hormones that's when they will come to us :)full circle? i thought gbolduev was very clear in how it is very individual in what a person has to do to regain health. Assuming he was right the approach outlined by charlie et al. will have a few individuals getting worse even if it might be a minority.
I also find the timespan of 2 years + way to long just to "test" if the theory holds true for oneself. And if that didnt work the person is at fault for not "perfectly" balancing certain minerals/trace elements?
Exactly, many see immediate effects.You won't need 2 yrs to know if it is working or not. Your digestion will get better pretty quickly if that was one of the things that was getting really bad. As far as chronic fatigue that might take longer. Skin rashes should slowly get better. There may be waves of detox that you have to understand how to treat. More binders, more nutrients etc. If people want a quick fix they can continue pharma and hormone replacement therapy, no one is forcing someone to detox.
... that's when they will come to us :)
Yes I saw the low carb and keto failures. Not so much carnivore though because that is a new fad where people eat only steak and that eliminates A LOT of potential toxins. Typically most people on low carb or keto don't just eat beef, they eat all kinds of crappy animal foods including liver, so it's a no brainer they failed. And I think ketosis can cause metabolic acidosis and ketoacidosis if they are not careful. But even high doses of thiamine can cause acidosis and renal failure (please be careful of those saying it is safe).That's what many on this forum thought/said when it came to people going paleo/keto/carnivore/vegan. The forum regulary had new people complaining how the no sugar or low sugar diet eventually caught up to them causing new symptoms.
Can you see how im sceptic and think think that this could happen with the anti-vitamin a movement? I am not arguing the peat "diet" is great or anything.
Browsing the generoux forum there have been similar reports where some people had to incooperate some milk/eggs eventually. Some speculate it to be due to choline but who knows.
I do not oppose some period of time to help the liver out and get rid of excesses. However the premise that avoiding most foods equals health does not ring true at all.
Health is resilience. It is able to eat without to much repercussion. It is your liver and your detox pathways working, period. It is skin being clear and smooth and having a healthy colour to it. Nails and hair being strong and thick. Teeth being naturally "white" and clear of calculus/gingivitis with minimal effort needed in cleaning. Eyewhite is clear and vision is great both near and far. It is your body being able to readily adapt to different foods and lifestyle. Mood being good and joyfull is the baseline. Energy is reasonably high most of the time. "Illnesses" resolving quickly within a few days. Woundhealing is fast. etc.
That is health. For some this is/was true when they were "young". Some never got to experience it at all. And this is in my opinion what humanity has to try to achieve and put most of their efforts in. It is more important than anything as everything is influenced by it. Are the anti-aging people going to achieve this? Or thoose researching bio-electricity? Maybe the anti-fungi movement? Or perhaps it realy is going to be the anti A crowd that surpasses everyone else?
... What a time to be alive ... sad however that most of us wont survive and benefit of the truth.
